Pentagon accuses China of flying spy balloon over US
Washington has accused China of flying a surveillance balloon over sensitive sites ahead of a planned visit by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Beijing, with China warning against any "hype" over the issue before verification of facts. "The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now," Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told reporters on Thursday. "The balloon is currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground." The accusation was made after CIA Director William Burns, speaking at an event at Washington’s Georgetown University, described China as the "biggest geopolitical challenge" facing the United States. #spy #baloon ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEs9JXY2M00

Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri and Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, the chief commander of the Iranian Army, visited the underground base on Tuesday.
"Any attack on Iran from our enemies, including Israel, will be met with a response from our many Air Force bases including Eagle 44," Baqeri said.
Dug deep into the mountains, the tactical airbase has various sections, including an alert area, command post, warplane hangars, repair and maintenance center, navigation and airport equipment, and fuel tanks.

"Worked it off, landed it": footage of the blocking and landing of a reconnaissance quadcopter by an Airborne Forces unit using a counter-rocket gun, in the southern sector of the special operation
Observers of a unit of one of the Airborne Forces units noticed a Ukrainian quadcopter approaching our front line for reconnaissance.
A counter-penetration gun operator, on the instructions of his comrades-in-arms, detected the enemy quadcopter and landed it on our territory.
The memory of the landed quadcopter turned out to contain valuable information about the location and launching sites of AFU unmanned aerial vehicles.
Airborne troops are actively using anti drone guns to combat drones of the Ukrainian army. They have proven their effectiveness in combat conditions.
The guns allow us to "disable" the quadcopter-type UAVs used by the Ukrainian military at a distance of one or two kilometers, which reduces the enemy's ability to reconnaissance our frontline and adjust fire on Russian positions.
